   An update that fixes two vulnerabilities is now available.

Description:

   This update for the Linux Kernel 4.4.103-92_56 fixes several issues.

   The following security issues were fixed:

   - CVE-2018-5391: Fixed a denial of service attack with low rates of
     specially modified packets targeting IP fragment re-assembly. An
     attacker may have caused a denial of service condition by sending
     specially crafted IP fragments. The current vulnerability
     (CVE-2018-5391) became exploitable in the Linux kernel with the increase
     of the IP fragment reassembly queue size (bsc#1103098).
   - CVE-2018-18386: The drivers/tty/n_tty.c allowed local attackers (who are
     able to access pseudo terminals) to hang/block further usage of any
     pseudo terminal devices due to an EXTPROC versus ICANON confusion in
     TIOCINQ (bsc#1112039).
